OMG, this is so true. The same number on the scale, but a totally different feeling. And this happens at goal weight too! And it will sabotage us if we let it.
My advice (to myself) is to seek out as much body positivity as possible until I start to “feel” better regardless of anything else, like these articles here and here. I can feel better if I just let myself.
It can also help me to put on a favorite outfit, one we all have in the closet that makes us feel good at any weight. And if you don’t have any outfits in your closet that make you feel good, then get down to the nearest value village or thrift store and find one! Who cares about the size, I feel great in Calvin Klein jeans even when they are size 14 instead of 10 or 8, (I don’t know why, I just do). Find what clothes work for you. And it will help with the mental game that is a part of putting you and your health first in your decisions about food and exercise.
